Speaker help under $2,500

Hi,  
I am looking for a set of speaker suggestion around $2,500.  I like to listen to vocal like Spanish Harlem.  Other electronic gears will purchase later but differentially will do tubes.

Best Regards,
Eddy

eddy1,

The Shelby+Kroll monitor and sub combo is a fantastic set up and will sound great with your AR choices. If you are in the greater NJ area I can arrange for a demo. Contact me through the site to set it up.

Must second Nola, Vandersteen, Tekton, Sonus Faber, all good. The DeCapo's are good as well, but in my head-to-head competition with them the Tekton wins plus they cost much less. Best, Rob

Eddy, you should take a listen to Omega speakers.  I just committed to Omega Super Alnico Monitors at $1995 (also available as floor standers at I think about $2900).  These are fantastic for human voice and especially female vocals - Rebecca Pidgeon singing Spanish Harlem is just wonderful!  Google Omega Speakers and take a look at the Super Alnico Monitor.  Many owners of Omegas run tubes (especially small watt SETs as the speakers have 93 db efficiency).  I can't believe the quality of the sound for what they cost, simply amazing.

Eddy ,,,

You should be able to get a pair of Legacy Signature III's in mint condition for under $2000. per pair. They are a wonderful speaker that LOVES tubes. At 93db they are easy to drive too. The ribbon tweeter is amazing.
